It’s Jughead’s birthday, and he can be emo if he wants to.
Plus, Riverdale secrets and sins revealed!
Riverdale Episode 10
Secrets and Sins.
There are revelations a plenty in this go round, from most of Riverdale High learning about the Archie/Ms.
Finally, we also discover that Jughead hates celebrating his birthday.
I mean, that crown is EVERYTHING.
Just like the comic Betty, the TV version is a bit unhinged, but endlessly lovable.
This is a character who wears his non-conformity on his shoulders like Atlas globe.
It is tough to be Jughead Jones, and no one understands him, mannnnnnn.
And if theres one thing I cant get enough of on this show, it is its glorious melodrama.
Enter the Veronica Lodge storyline.
Next week: CLIFFORD BLOSSOMS WIG ROOM.
Oh yeah, and more Molly Ringwald as Archies mom.
Secrets and sins indeed.
And that wig room is pretty much all Im going to be thinking about for the next week.
Dilton Doileys a psychopath.
The nicest moment in tonights episode was when Veronica asked Smithers if her father was a good man.
Joaquin is spotted wearing his Cosmo the Merry Martian shirt again.

Tonight we saw Ethel giving Jughead a slice of his (hamburger-shaped) birthday cake.
And no, we still havent seen Jughead eat an actual hamburger on the show.
There are three episodes left in which this most egregious of oversights can be remedied.
Did you love the crown sweater that Betty wore to Jugheads surprise party?
No one ever said that dressing like your TV friends would be cheap.
I still believe that Joaquin is going to betray the Serpents so you can protect his relationship with Kevin.
I for one was thinking that this particular narrative thread was dropped.
Also, Archie, for god sakes, never let troublemakers like Cheryl, F.P.
or Chuck into your house.
Almost certainly, and I for one am not complaining.
